Non-surgical gum treatment for deep gum pockets
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment for deep gum pockets caused by advanced gum disease. It aims to see how well the gums heal and how smoking might affect the healing process.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have advanced gum disease (stage III or IV, grade B or C).
- You have at least one deep gum pocket (more than 5 mm deep) with bone loss visible on X-ray.
- You do not have diabetes, liver or kidney disease, or other serious medical conditions.
- You have not taken anti-inflammatory or anticoagulant medications in the past month.
- You have not taken antibiotics in the past 3 months.
- You have not had gum treatment in the past 12 months.

This study tests a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment for advanced gum disease (periodontitis) in young adults. The goal is to reduce gum inflammation and improve gum health without surgery.
This study tests a less invasive way to treat peri-implantitis (infection around a dental implant) without removing the implant crown or using antibiotics. It may help people with infected implants who have not smoked or used antibiotics recently.
This study examines how gum tissue heals in deep pockets that remain after standard gum disease treatment. Researchers will collect small samples of healing tissue to better understand gum disease and improve future treatments.
This trial compares two dental gum surgery approaches to see which better helps the gum and bone heal in people with periodontitis. It may help by improving the depth of gum pockets and supporting regrowth of damaged areas around teeth.
This study measures a natural protein in your gums before and after a minimally invasive surgical treatment for moderate to advanced gum disease. Researchers want to understand how this protein changes with treatment, which may help improve gum disease care in the future.
This study looks at three different ways to make cuts in the gums during surgery for deep pockets caused by gum disease. It aims to find which technique helps heal better and save more bone.
